Imagine my horror in coming to Stockholm. Don’t get me wrong – I had braced myself for the high cost of living here.
I had some small plans to go out, but that was quickly negated by the big fatty clouds in the sky. I knew what it was. Then I heard some noise and looked out the window.
Onos. La pluie. There went my idea of spending the morning out and about picking up stuff. However, the rain gave me an excuse to make an impromptu French Toast with the baguettes we picked up while shopping yesterday. No pictures of the baguettes or French Toast, but I’ll be making the baguettes into bread pudding and I shall provide pics of that!
I had put aside five hours of my day for making some bolognese. It was worth it. Doesn’t it look pretty?
I even included the recipe in the post, too. It’s at the very bottom. I decided to do step by step pics. Yea, rainy days get me going like that…
Word to the wise: this post is picture heavy behind the jump.
As always, click on the thumbnails to show the pictures in their original sizes.
I wandered around and had to get a picture that was in the shop…
I know, right?
We roamed and had Indian food. Not quite like back in the US or in India. This food had a bit too much sweetness to it. For me to complain about it being sweet means it’s really sweet.
Anyway, we roamed and kept hearing all this crazy music. Saw floats and from a distance I kept seeing a rainbow flag…
I moved closer but the rainbow flag had moved on. I wanted a flag shot, so I got one of the Swedish flag instead.
By the way…That building behind the flag? That’s where Colin works.

I know I’ve been remiss this past month and I shall remedy that now.
First and foremost, July is my birth month. I take that literally. Forget the one day. All should celebrate with me because it’s MY MONTH. Silly, I know. Can’t deny what I think or feel.
That said, July has been busy in a lot of ways aside from my birthday.
How so? Come and see behind the jump…yes, there are pictures. I promise!
I got all hot and bothered with magnetic nail polish a few years ago. They were released in limited edition batches by several manufacturers – Essence and Lancome come to mind. I had such a huge WANT for it. I was willing to pay whatever I had to for it. Sadly, everyone held on to their bottles with a handful of people eventually selling on eBay.
Imagine my surprise one day when I heard about this brand called LCN and they had *gasp* MAGNETIC NAIL POLISH!

Does it tempt you? If so, more behind the jump!
